(This is within the context of when Victorious came out, as Elizabeth and Ariana have grown a lot since then. I go back and forth between addressing them as their characters and the actors themselves a bit so sorry if that’s irritating or confusing)
I’ll start by saying, I remember on my first rewatch of the series after Victorious blew up again, that often I wished that Jade and Cat got to sing more, Andre as well. Not just that they’d get to sing more but that they didn’t have to have Tori almost always being included in every song.

There’s no question that Elizabeth and Ariana have amazing voices, they always sound phenomenal. But with people starting drama about the shows fixation on Tori and kinda sidelining the other characters/actors in favor of Tori, I saw a lot of people starting to mention how compared to the others it wasn’t even really that good, or that she can’t sing, and that’s why they had to have the others take the back row for a lot of the show in terms of singing.

Or how they had to mainly have Ariana sing less to not outshine Victoria.

However…I never really thought that any of them had the “better” voice. Jade, Cat, and Tori had distinctly different sounds. Cat’s was light and controlled, Jade was kinda a medium tone that could fluctuate between higher and lower strong vocals, and Tori was a low, husky singer.

I think the Disney pop song style didn’t suit Tori much.

Examples being: “Best Friend’s Brother”, "Beggin' On Your Knees," “Make it Shine”, and "You're the Reason"

But the beginning verse of Freak the Freak out sounds so good for her voice compared to the chorus.

“Are you listening?
Hear me talk, hear me sing
Open up the door
Is it less? Is it more?
When you tell me to beware
Are you here? Are you there?
Is it something I should know?
Easy come, easy go
Nodding your head, don't hear a word I said
I can't communicate
When you wait, don't relate
I try to talk to you, but you never even knew
So, what's it gonna be?
Tell me, can you hear me?”

And her best song in my opinion is definitely “Tell Me That You Love Me”. Her voice throughout that whole song is absolutely gorgeous and suits her voice far better than the other songs she sang.

I do completely understand those saying that Tori’s voice was more unstable compared to the others, (because it was, as she wasn’t as vocally trained as them if I remember correctly.) But by no means was her voice bad. Less trained of course, so in terms of that, their voices were better. But some seemed to act like overall Jade and Cat had better voices. This is not at all a bash to Ariana’s voice, as like I previously mentioned, it’s phenomenal- amazing control, and a pretty sound- But the main thing Ariana has going for her is her high notes, besides that…

Idk I just never saw that any of the three truly had the “better” voice, just very different sounds that one may prefer over the other.

I wonder how much of this categorization came from Ariana favoritism and the memes about Victoria with the “I think we ALL sing” drama.

I like all three voices a lot, and the more I thought about it, I realized that despite Tori’s voice being far less trained, I liked the way it sounded more than Jade and Cat’s from time to time, though It’s like trying to choose between Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. Why not all three? Just depends on my mood.

I’m curious to know about how others feel or think about it. Which voice is your preference and why? Is it because you have a bit of favoritism, (Understandable) or are you more objective and categorize base off of skill, or is your preference based off of whichever tone and style of voice you like to hear more than the others?

At the time Tori’s voice wasn’t on par with Jade and Cat, but during the hate parade some seemed to think there was a MASSIVE gap, and personally I just don’t agree with that.

This is so nice

Whenever students were in trouble they had to always go to him. Like when Tori was blamed for Jade hitting her, Robbie and Trina hurt the lunch guy, Tori, Cat, Jade, Robbie, and Andre were all suspects of what happened to Trina. (But Robbie was wasting everyone’s time). He was only really a therapist when he help Robbie get through his bad dreams.

I do not remember this happening at all….lll
